It's an analog recorder, use it as you would any rs-170 (composite analog video) device.

I have no idea what the value of one would be, but what will you use it for? The tapes aren't easy to find (except in public libraries and TV stations that have been around for awhile)

Kewl - if it is one of the models that can use an rm300 or rm400 remote (see connector picture) I have the pinouts somewhere, along with an computer interface (I think). This is just for positioning.
